Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (2, 3) and (8, 6)?

Answer 1

Slope = change in y / change in x

slope = (6-3) / (8-2)

Slope = 3/6
slope = 1/2

Answer 2

Slope is 1/2
Slope can be found by subtracting y2-y1 and x2-x1, then putting them into y/x for slope.

Y = 6-3=3
X= 8-2=6

y/x is 3/6 is reduced to 1/2
